Ever heard the expression “Faster, higher, that’s Maine’s Flyer?” We hadn’t - until a group of 20 students at Maine South and Maine East High Schools produced a documentary of the same name. The doc commemorates a World War II plane funded by a student-led war bond sales effort and named in honor of what were then Maine Township High School students. We talk with Maine East student Rachel Stan, and supervising teacher Phillip Ash about the film.(Flickr/Jamie McCaffrey)
